A Blatant Plug

Looking back through my journal archives, I realize that I never mentioned how good a writer chanlemur is. I first found his writing through Narbonic (he wrote (is writing?) "A Brief Moment of Culture"), but he has consistently impressed me in his other ventures, both comic and serious. Even those which are triggered by such a minor thing as a little meme that's been going around.

Yesterday, for that meme, he wrote The Thousand and First Paper Crane. It is a gorgeous story.

That's all I came to say.

Disclaimer: Chanlemur has this journal friended, and I have his journal friended. These facts had no bearing on the above – his work stands on its own merits.

Word post: oligophagous

Once again, from Webster's New World, Second College Edition:

ol·i·goph·a·gous adj. feeding upon a limited variety of food, as certain caterpillars whose diet is restricted to a few related plants

While I admit I eat pizza and fries too often, I am not nearly so oligophagous as the stereotypical college student.

(Yes, oligophagous comes from the same root as oligarchy and is related to esophagus. And to anthropophagous, actually. But the specific word's new to me, so... ^_^)
